Opportunity Summary:
The PHMSA HMIT grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DOT-PH-HMIT-09-004) was a discretionary federal grant program run by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) to support the Hazardous Materials Instructor Training (HMIT) Grants Program for fiscal year 2010. The core purpose of the program was to fund training efforts that strengthen the capability of hazardous materials employees by supporting organizations that can deliver effective hazmat training and reach a defined, relevant workforce audience. In practical terms, the program was aimed at improving the quality and reach of instruction for workers who handle, transport, or otherwise work around hazardous materials, by investing in organizations with proven training expertise and access to the target employee population.
Eligibility was narrowly focused. Applicants had to be non-profit hazardous materials employee organizations, meaning labor unions, associations, groups, or similar membership organizations composed of hazardous materials employees and explicitly established to represent those employees. PHMSA required applicants to demonstrate two main qualifications: first, clear expertise in conducting training programs for hazmat employees, and second, an ability to reach a target population of hazmat employees (in other words, the organizational capacity and networks to deliver training at meaningful scale to the intended workforce). The listing categorized eligible applicants as "Others," with the detailed eligibility definition spelled out in the opportunity text rather than using the more common government applicant categories like state or local governments, universities, or for-profit entities.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was classified under the Transportation funding activity category and tied to CFDA number 20.703, Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants. The notice indicated that there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. PHMSA estimated total funding availability at $4,000,000 for the program cycle referenced in the notice.
Key dates reflect that this was a time-limited competition that is now archived. The opportunity was posted on April 23, 2009, with an application closing date of July 1, 2009, and an archive date of July 31, 2009. Although the description references fiscal year 2010, the solicitation itself was conducted on that earlier timeline, which is common in federal grantmaking where application cycles may open and close prior to the fiscal year in which funds are ultimately awarded or used.
For applicants and stakeholders, the notice also clarified that there was no separate announcement beyond the application package and that applicants should rely on the instructions included in that package. For technical issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Carrie Brown with the PHMSA Grant Support Team at (617) 494-3318.
